their notes are supplemented and enriched, and man}- <»f these

E.rliihits. — The Bureau cooperated with the National 

 Museum in arranging the Smithsonian Institution exhibit in 

 the Cotton States and International Exposition held at Atlanta 

 during the autumn of 1895. An alcove in the Government 

 building was allotted to the Bureau, and this was filled by tlie 

 installation of six wall cases and four iloor cases, together 

 with a number of bulky objects arranged on top of the wall 

 cases. This exhibit was so arranged as to illustrate the char- 

 acteristics and modes of life of three tribes, viz: The Chero- 

 kee Indians, who formerly occupied the country wliicli is 

 now northern Georgia, and wliose descendants still live in 

 western Nortli Carolina only 150 miles from the site of the 

 exposition; the Papago Indians, a little known though highly 

 interesting tribe of peaceful Indians, occupying southwestern 

 Arizona and northern Sonora; and the Seri Indians, a tierce 

 and exclusive tribe of the Gulf of California, part of whom 

 were found on their borderland in the course of an expe- 

 dition b)' the Bureau during 1894. In addition to the objects 

 exhibited, there were in two wall cases illustrations of the 

 physical cliaracteristics and costumery of the Pajjago and Seri 

 Indians. The former were represented by a group of life-size 

 figures engaged in the manufacture of pottery — their t^-pical 

 industry. In the other case a life-size figure of a Seri warrior 

 was introduced. The collections were supplemented by a 

 series of twelve transparencies, made from photographs, show- 

 ing the Papago and Seri Indians in characteristic attire, with 

 their habitations and domestic surroundings. In the installa- 

 tion of this exhibit, primary attention was given to fidelity of 

 representation rather than to artistic finish or grouping; and 

 it is a source of gratification to observe that the exhibit 

 attracted much attention during the |)rogress of the exposition. 

 It was awarded a grand prize, dij)lonia, and gold medal.
